Babe
Got to know one thing before you ask my name
Be straight up and tell me whats your aim
A girl like me see i dont play no games ( no no )
That's why I say
If you want to be with me go all the way
Do what you go to do just in this stage
tell me
What's good with you bay bay
Want to get to know me
What's really good bay bay
Do you have a lady
And name your hood bay bay
Where you from and where you be
What's good with you bay bay
What's good with you bay bay
[ verse 2 ]
Babe
Your sitting over there tryna figure out what to say
Make up your mind right now dont contemplate
You know that i dont have time to waste ( no no )
Where do we go
What this thing could be we'll never know
There is just no way that we can flow
If you aint being honest from the go ( tell me )
[ chorus ]
What's good with you bay bay
Want to get to know me
What's really good bay bay
Do you have a lady
And name your hood bay bay
Where you from and where you be
What's good with you bay bay
What's good with you bay bay
[ bridge ]
Dont try playing with my mind
Boy i dont have no time
For something that i know aint good for me
Dont hesitate to say
You feel the inner strength
Want to know
Should i take the chance with you
[ chorus ]
What's good with you bay bay
Want to get to know me
What's really good bay bay
If you have a lady
And name your hood bay bay
Where you from and where you be
What's good with you bay bay
What's good with you bay bay
What's good with you bay bay
Want to get to know me
What's really good bay bay
Do you have a lady
And name your hood bay bay
Where you from and where you be
What's good with you bay bay
What's really good bay bay
What's good with you bay bay
What's really good bay bay
And name your hood bay bay
What's good with you bay bay

Beyonce has great moves and there will always be something about her that will make people draw to her but it's so strange to me that in her most popular songs her voice isn't a "wow" factor.

Beyonce and Jennifer have 2 different styles of singing. Beyonce has soul and power but she is more of a pop/r&b singer. Jennfer has that type of soul and power that is heard in blues and gospel songs. The type of music Jennifer would sing appeals to mostly older audiences while Beyonce is mainly for younger. either way it goes they doing they and ya'll are just stin at home wishin it was you
